GWAAC's Critical Care Cars

Some facts about Great Western Air Ambulance Charity's fleet of Critical Care Cars.

Over two-thirds of our call-outs are responded to by car. Our crews carry out the same lifesaving medical interventions at the scene, whether they respond by air or by road.

Our critical care cars enable our crew to be more resilient, allowing them to respond to patients in any conditions. Currently, we only fly our helicopter during daylight hours and so our cars enable us to continue responding at night time, or when the helicopter is in for maintenance.

Sometimes, the location of a patient will mean it is more appropriate and efficient for our crew to respond by road rather than by air, for example, when there are restricted suitable landing sites, or when one of our critical care cars is closer.
